May Day Taurus B-day Bash - Pictures

The Shameless crew represents the Taurus sign strong with multiple crew mates having their birthdays in May. The celebration this year took place house party style! It all started at 4pm with Luvshack deep frying a couple of turkeys in the backyard. From there Menami cooked up some fierce spiked lemonade and a bunch of people showed up with food, drinks, bubble machines, a giant blow up bunny rabbit (?!) and good cheer to share. Music kept going until 5:30 am! Thanks to all of the DJs, friends and family that helped make such a fun filled, warm and festive party at the YES! house go off so well.

Show And Tell w/Rolo Tamasi!

SHOW AND TELL @ Living Room, the biweekly live electronic music night at The Living Room is shaking its shame off and getting its game on with the live debut of Rolo Tamasi

Rolo Tamasi [SEA] was an Italian professional road racing cyclist. The highlight of his early career was his overall win in the 1971 Giro d'Italia of cycling, 53rd edition of the Corsa Rosa. Shorty after his triumphant victory he was involved in a terrible accident where he was hit while riding his bicycle by a large truck. Luckily, the man who was driving was a cryogenicist and in 1971 Rolo Tamasi was fully cryopreserved. In 2007, His frozen remains were sold to the University of Washington medical center for research. In 2008, He was unexpectedly unfrozen when a drunken scientist spilt Vodka Red Bull in his tank and simultaneously struck by lightening. Reborn in a new time and place he balances life between DJing and producing classic dub music and progressive techno, promoting and planning with Shameless Productions. He has opened for such greats as Deepchild Christian Martin & J Phlip!

Galaxy Rock for Disconauts - Recess mixtape from 2006

I hopped into Menami's car the other day and she was rocking an old mixtape of mine. Well not super old, but it's at least 4 years by this point. I had forgotten all about it! Although I played out a lot of different genres at the time (still true today!), I particularly adored disco with enough rock elements that made it accessible to those kids that "don't like electronic music".

I had so much fun listening to it again that I thought I'd bring it back for your downloading pleasure. The link below will also provide a full track listing. All vinyl baby!

Come to Cottage Country!!

If you don’t already have them, Toronto’sDougie Boom released a 4-volume series of unbelievably fun and amazing classic rock DJ mixes last year that were arguably the best DJ mixes I heard in 2009. Dougie’s COTTAGE COUNTRY mixes are fashioned as though you were listening to an actual classic rock station (complete with satirical voiceovers that’ll have you in stitches) with great effect. Now that it’s getting warmer outside, what better time to revisit these gems? Make sure to download all four volumes before heading out for your Memorial Day Weekend trips on the lake, camping, or beyond. You’ll thank me later!
